Everything is gonna be alright, rockabye @goombarella - Tumblr Blog

I want to write an alternative version of Romeo and Juliet where instead of being a little ponce and trying to work things out for himself, Romeo asks his smarter friends what to do about the whole thing and Benvolio and Mercutio come up with the world’s greatest plan:

Marriage of convenience between Juliet and Mercutio.

Think about it.

Juliet’s parents want her to marry into the Prince’s family. Mercutio is a good compromise between no marriage and Paris.

Mercutio probably won’t get his inheritance if he keeps being HELLA FUCKING GAY ALL OVER THE PLACE so a beard is only a benefit to him.

They would probably get along great rolling their eyes at how adorably stupid Romeo is.

Romeo and Benvolio could get a “bachelor pad” right next to Juliet and Mercutio’s house. Every night, Romeo and Mercutio high five as they hop the fence to go bang their one true love.

The second half of the play is just all of them trying to keep up the charade and being “THIS CLOSE” to getting caught all the time. But everything ends nicely because true love conquers all.

Everybody wins. Nobody dies.

me: gay characters are severely under-represented, but within the realm of gay representation, conventionally attractive white men are over-represented

everyone: *unfollows*

me: you’re mad, but im still right

Fat trans people are important. Fat trans people matter. Trans does not only mean thin. It's ok to be fat & trans.

I Would Rather Go Naked Then Wear The Coat The World Has Made For Me

When I was born, I left the hospital in a pink hat. It matched my pink dress and pink socks and the rest of the gender roles that have been shoved down my throat since the day I came into the world.

When I was four, my brother was born. Why did he get to wear the clothes with trucks and sports on them and I didn’t?

When I was six, my mom told me that sometimes, princesses married princesses and princes married princes and even though some evil step mothers might not say its ok, the fairy godmothers say that it’s fine.

When I was nine I went to my cousin Elizabeth’s wedding, where she married her wife, Clare. I think that day it clicked. When I got married, I knew that there wasn’t going to be a prince waiting for me, because this princess was going to end up with another princess.

When I was eleven, I realized that the media’s version of diversity was a gay white man.

When I was thirteen, I learned about sex. But wondered why we only learned about sex between a man and a woman. Because something told me I wouldn’t really ever need to know this in the future.

When I was fifteen, I read the quote “I would rather go naked than wear the coat the world has made for me.” And that was the moment I began living my best me. That year I learned two things. That hiding who I was was only hurting me, and that no one cared if you shopped in the men’s section, because their shoes will always fit your feet better and their t shirts will make you feel just as confident of not more than a shirt whose tag said it was strictly for women.

When I was sixteen, I came out as a Lesbian.

Now that I’m seventeen, I’m starting to think about the future.

-Which states have anti- discrimination laws because I need to make sure that wherever move to for college or to start a family protects me and doesn’t deny me my right to a job or housing based on who I am. And so far, there is only twenty states I can safely move to. Currently, 77 countries criminalize homosexuality. 5 of them result in the death penalty.

-In 2016, so, so many people in the LGBTQ+ community have been murdered, and their killers have walked away with no consequences. Will I become one of these statistics?

-How can I spread advocacy for people who are demi- girl, genderqueer, inersex, pansexual exa.? Because these aren’t just made-up words, these words are just trying to get the attention they deserve.

Soon I’m going to be eighteen. I’m going to keep fighting for the rights that me, and so many others deserve. Because this spark isn’t going to do is burn out.

i think it’s hard for straight people (especially conservative christians) to understand why we claim our sexuality. why we come out, why it’s a big deal for us, why we identify with the label so much.

because to them it’s like “well i don’t do that” and i try to explain that that’s because you’re considered default. people don’t view you differently because of your sexuality. you don’t run the risk of being murdered for your sexuality. people don’t hate you because of your sexuality.

for us (LGBT people), we’re proud of the fact we’ve survived in a world that doesn’t want us to. we claim our sexuality as a fuck you to everyone who’s mocked us/beaten us/hated us because of our sexuality. we’re proud of ourselves for getting to the point where we CAN claim our sexuality because most of us struggled with it for a long time before we could call ourselves bi/ply/pan or gay or lesbian.
